Exploring Immortality Cultivation

In terms of the breadth of divine skills, no Shenzhou Cultivator was stronger than Wang Qi. However, Wang Qi's methods, though numerous, were not mixed. All his divine skills revolved around one system.

Science.

A scientist must at least be familiar with all the basic theorems in their own field in order to understand more profound matters. Without studying classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism, one cannot comprehend quantum mechanics and relativity. Within classical mechanics, there are sub-disciplines like thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

"Science," this grand and magnificent edifice, has only two cornerstones: observation of phenomena and mathematics. All its sub-disciplines are built upon these elements.

Broad yet not assorted, extensive and refined.

Heavenly Song, the essence of electromagnetism, the root of all conventional laws, the epitome of the principle where All Laws Return to One. When practiced to a profound depth, one might unify the strong and weak forces, displaying various inconceivable abilities and also potentially develop towards Special Relativity.

Elephant Phase Wave Skill, breaking the barrier between the microscopic and the macroscopic, allowing the oscillation of matter to manifest on a larger scale.

Heavenly Entropy Technique, a reflection of thermodynamics, the application of humanity's most perfect formula, the sole law almost akin to Dao. Combined with Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm, it becomes a great method that directly points to the destruction of the universe.

Heavenly Position Technique, the cultivation method that unifies the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture with the Book of Geometry, Wang Qi's fundamental law to intuitively analyze space-time, drawing sky and mapping earth, self-sufficient and complete, capable of accommodating all laws.

Even just the inherent capabilities of Wang Qi's own mental method were already so intricate.

And the Combat Skill that Wang Qi intended to cultivate was even more formidable.

The manuscript of the Daoist of Uncertainty had already been entered into his Soul Guardian Room for constant pondering. Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword, defying causality, a sword that ensures certain hit and certain kill, was Wang Qi's strongest technique. In addition, the idea he had when observing the Grandmaster of Mysterious Palace had also verified with the many formulas on this manuscript, deducing new spells.

Then there was the Sword Dao notes from Mathematics Lord Pang Jialai. That was what the Mathematics Lord had given to Wang Qi last year. For the Mathematics Lord, it was akin to passing down teaching, intended to let Wang Qi have a good look at the Li Sect's methods. Regrettably, this well-intentioned gesture was like showing something to a blind man. Busy with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks, Wang Qi hadn't carefully perused this thin booklet over the past year.

It was a swordsmanship different from the first-order sword and the flawless net. If the swordsmanship constructed by Wang Qi previously, based on the mathematical logic of the Li Sect, represented the peak of intricacy and the spirit of craftsmanship, then the Mathematics Lord's swordsmanship was like a natural sprite, the logic of diagrams, the rules of topology.

There was no question of superiority or inferiority between the two, merely a difference in approach.

In the past, Wang Qi could not have possibly learned so many Law Gates at the same time. But now, with the aid of Jarvis and the onset of multi-threaded thinking, learning had finally become a relatively easy task and the value of time had also begun to plummet in his eyes.

In Wang Qi's opinion, this was the greatest contribution from Jarvis. Not in its ability to control numerous magic artifacts, to substitute his spellcasting in combat, or to increase physical combat strength. In this Cultivation System, a learning machine was a thing even more useful than blades and swords.

Apart from learning spells, Wang Qi had not neglected the study of biological theories. This was the foundation for his future mastery over Life Flame and a whole new Heaven and Earth.

In his previous life, limited by the lifespan of an ordinary person, a scientist could only specialize in one or a few fields, but in this world, Cultivators possessed an extended life span. Coupled with Jarvis's assistance, learning another discipline was just a matter of opening another thread. In such a situation, experiencing another Great Dao was also a delightful matter.

However, this method of cultivation still imposed a burden on the brain and soul. After Wang Qi had partitioned too many threads of his attention to the practice of the Law, his daily actions seemed somewhat vacant and dull, as if his soul were not quite present.

"I think you're onto something," Chen Youjia said to Wang Qi during one of their practice sessions, with a note of certainty. "Something very powerful."

She was currently learning something new. Originally, she should have been one of the most knowledgeable cultivators in Shenzhou on probability theory. But after Wang Qi shamelessly "shared" his pre-knowledge cheat with Chebyshev, the field experienced an explosive leap forward. A millennia of accumulation by a Carefree Practitioner was not something their younger generation could easily match.

However, as modern probability theory was established, or as Wang Qi would say "recreated," the number of problems within this field also began to increase, moving away from the era where a few Carefree practitioners dominated. Ordinary cultivators could now also get a piece of the pie.

This was something Chen Youjia was well aware of. Thus, she constantly sought advice from Wang Qi on this subject so that she could keep up to speed.

It took Wang Qi several seconds before he responded, "Oh... it's really nothing that impressive."

Chen Youjia turned her face away unhappily. Having started her journey two years earlier than Wang Qi, she had always considered herself as "Senior Sister". However, Wang Qi's recent advancements were seriously challenging this status.

The near-pink glow of the setting sun shone through the window, casting a slanted light on the two. Wang Qi continued to be lost in his thoughts, while Chen Youjia, looking out the window at the Tianling Ridge disciples exchanging martial arts, mused, "It's been a long time since we've sparred, right? With full strength... Oh no, we've never really gone all out against each other."

This time Wang Qi was a beat too slow to react. With a wry smile, he said, "Me, go all out? The Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword can be unleashed but not retracted; to use it means to kill."

The last time he displayed the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword in public, the presence of many observers caused the Sword Qi Cloud to collapse before it could fully expand, greatly reducing its power. If it was just the two of them, one-on-one, any strand of Sword Qi would pierce through Chen Feng's head. The soul could think, but it was not suited for holding memories. Before reaching the Nascent Soul or Primordial Spirit Stage, memories were recorded by the brain. A brain pierced by Sword Qi would mean Chen Feng might retain his name through the power of the Life Flame, but he would definitely lose part of his memories.

Chen Youjia shook her head with a look of regret in her eyes. Before Wang Qi reached Foundation Establishment, she could easily suppress him; After Wang Qi's Foundation Establishment, if he did not use the Indeterminate Cloud Sword, she and Chen Feng could still overpower him. But with the Indeterminate Cloud Sword, neither Chen Youjia nor Chen Feng could withstand a single blow; they would either die or be severely injured.

Wang Qi then said, "However, we can also create a probabilistic Divine Skill and then compare."

Chen Youjia nodded, "That sounds good, how about swordsmanship?"

"There aren't any spells that purely start with probability... But there's a Big Number Sword from the Bao Clan that we could reference," Wang Qi pondered. "Junior Sister Bao should have the rights to transfer it, we just need to go find her directly..."

Chen Youjia's hand tightened around her pen, deciding to change the subject: "How did it go with the local scion you recruited to test your new Magic Artifact?"

"The results?"

"It's been three days, aren't you worried he won't come looking for you again? How will you collect the data?"

Wang Qi shook the ring on his hand, "The old man with me analyzed it; our encounter with that guy might have been coincidental. But him approaching to chat and curry favor was to ask me for something—hoping I would reveal a bit about the 'Outer Object'... Just so happened, I needed a suitable 'Trial User.'"

"And the Divine Skill brought by that coin... For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it's basically of no consequence, so, he is bound to come again." (To be continued.
